Yet Another URL Shortener (YAUS)

GovTech Context

Each government entity needs access to a database of relevant users and beneficiaries - Education department needs to engage with students and teachers, Agriculture department would engage with farmers and so on and so forth. Given the scale of these users i.e. in education sector alone there are more than 9.6 million teachers and 264 million children in India, it is important to store and manage this data properly to ensure ownership, privacy and security.
